ROPA Method (reciprocal IVF) in Mexico
One of you provides the eggs, and the other carries the pregnancy. With the ROPA Method, you're both part of your baby's story from the very beginning.


What is the ROPA Method?
The ROPA Method (Reception of Oocytes from Partner), also called reciprocal IVF, is a fertility treatment for female couples who both want a role in the pregnancy. One of you is the genetic mother: she provides the eggs. The other is the gestational mother: she carries the pregnancy.
In practice, it's IVF (in vitro fertilization) with the roles split between the two of you.
- The genetic mother goes through ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval
- We fertilize the eggs with donor sperm using ICSI
- We transfer the embryo to the gestational mother's uterus

- Female fertility check-up from $2,200 MXN (approx. $120 USD), including an anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) test
- Syncing both of your cycles with hormones

How does the process work?

01
Consultation and donor selection
We review both of your medical histories and help you choose a donor from European Sperm Bank's profiles.
02
Cycle syncing
The genetic mother goes through ovarian stimulation while the gestational mother prepares her endometrium with estrogen and progesterone.
03
Retrieval and fertilization
Egg retrieval takes 15 to 20 minutes under sedation. We then fertilize the eggs with ICSI, and the embryos grow in our lab for 5 days.
04
Transfer and pregnancy test:
We transfer the best embryo to the gestational carrier's uterus. It is practically painless and requires no anesthesia. You will have a blood test 10 to 12 days later.

Yes. To make sure you're both legally recognized as mothers, it's a good idea to get legal advice, because the requirements vary by state.
It depends on the state. Some require marriage or a civil union for legal recognition. We'll point you in the right direction for your situation.
Your baby will have the genes of the partner who provided the egg and of the donor. The gestational mother also influences how those genes are expressed during pregnancy.
f you have frozen embryos left, you can do another transfer without repeating stimulation. If not, we'll talk about starting a new cycle.
